A narrow rocky gorge, thundering water, and a breathtaking view – the “Hölle” - the hell waterfall is an impressive natural spectacle you definitely shouldn’t miss. The water plunges about 46 metres down a steep rock face, creating a scene that is both powerful and mesmerizing.

The waterfall is also known as a weather oracle: in good weather, fine spray rises and glistens in the sunlight, resembling smoke – that's when “Hell smokes.” On cloudy or rainy days, the effect disappears, giving the waterfall its reputation as a natural weather indicator.
